However.. For now... What I did last year.
Sunday before Halloween I noticed low voltage. A quick check with meters. converter shot (Progressive Dynamics 9180+wizard over 12 years old).
No way to get a new one on Sunday so I got a Deltran Battery Tender DELUX. this is not your little hand held "power brick" size box. this is a full size portable charger 20 amps on BOOST mode 70 on Jump Start or 1-2 for maintaince. Wi-Fi connect to a phone app (Android for sure) 24 hours later it dropped out of BOOST and off I headed to a little town in Mi called Tekonsha home of Tekonsha Engineering where they make brake controllers... Also where I grew up.
Overnighted at the T/A Truck stop. originally this was the Tekon Truck stop and the model upon which all the Big Truck plazas are built.
Then on Halloween I drove the towed to Marshall (About 15 miles) and back "home" with a brand new factory Refurb 9180.. Hooked it up and headed south for the winter.
